U.S. stocks are mixed early Thursday, treading water in the wake of the Federal Reserve’s policy directive. Against this backdrop, the bigger-picture technicals — as applied to the widely-tracked U.S. stock benchmarks — continue to support a bullish view.

Technically speaking, the major U.S. benchmarks have started September with a holding pattern, of sorts, against a bullish longer-term backdrop. The early-month price action remains constructive amid persistent, and potentially consequential, developing trends across asset classes.

The major U.S. stock benchmarks continue to digest the August downturn, the year’s most technically damaging to date. In the process, the S&P 500 has failed its latest retest of major resistance — S&P 2,453 — amid potentially consequential emerging trends across asset classes.

U.S. stocks are mixed early Monday, treading water in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and as the U.S. dollar presses genuinely significant technical support. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500 remains capped by the 2,453 breakdown point, while the Nasdaq Composite continues to retest the 50-day moving average, currently 6,280.

The S&P 500 has reversed from one-month lows, rising respectably after a technically damaging August downturn. In the process, the S&P has rallied within striking distance of the breakdown point — circa 2,450 — an area matching a headline U.S. technical test.

The S&P 500’s bull trend is technically intact in the wake of the most aggressive market downturn since May. Still, the market technicals have softened, on the margin, and the prevailing backdrop is not one-size-fits-all.

U.S. stocks are slightly higher early Friday, rising after a strong marquee monthly U.S. jobs report. Against this backdrop, the Dow industrials are vying for an eighth straight record close — in characteristically grinding-higher form — while the S&P 500 traverses an increasingly familiar near-term range.

U.S. stocks are mixed early Wednesday, vacillating amid Apple’s strong quarterly results, and as the U.S. dollar approaches a genuinely major technical test. In the process, the Dow industrials have extended the summer breakout — tagging Dow 22,000 — while the small- and mid-cap benchmarks have concurrently turned lower to challenge the 50-day moving average.

Technically speaking, the U.S. benchmarks’ slow-motion summer uptrend continues to grind higher. Consider that the S&P 500 has tagged a fractional all-time high early Tuesday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has rallied within striking distance of a corresponding record. The latest breakout attempt is underway.

U.S. stocks are higher early Wednesday, rising after a mixed batch of quarterly earnings reports, and amid recently persistent crude-oil price strength. In the process, the Nasdaq Composite has belatedly reached record territory, while the small- and mid-cap benchmarks have registered fractional all-time highs early Wednesday. A rotational July breakout attempt remains underway.

U.S. stocks are higher early Friday, rising after a better-than-expected monthly U.S. jobs report. In the process, the S&P 500 has registered its latest successful test of major support — the 2,405 breakout point — rising from this week’s low, two points higher. (The Dow industrials have concurrently reversed from a week-to-date low of 21,305, also matching support.)

Technically speaking, the U.S. benchmarks are concluding the second quarter against a slightly bending, but still bullish, bigger-picture backdrop. Consider that the S&P 500 has nailed the breakout point — S&P 2,405 — and rallied respectably, preserving its uptrend. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite has been more firmly pressured, edging under its 50-day moving average, currently 6,154, and the retest remains underway.
